Advice on "Surrogacy Arrangement" Any person seeking a visa to India for purpose of entering into a surrogacy arrangement must ascertain beforehand whether the law of that country (e.g. Italy) permits surrogacy and will provide appropriate travel documents to the child for accompanying the surrogate parents. Entering into surrogacy arrangement under any other visa not sought for surrogacy is punishable under the Indian law.

Attendant/family members of the patient coming to India for medical treatment will continue to be granted medical attendant visa.

Medical attendant visa would be granted only for two members of the patients depending on the illness of the patient.
